The Rosenbloom Silverman & Victor Rosenbloom Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving on performing arts and higher education in New Jersey, with a clear emphasis on music and theatre programs. Grants are directed toward regional cultural institutions and university music departments, with occasional support for local health-related community programs (children's hospital and therapeutic pet/fitness events). The foundation tends to make repeat, mid-sized gifts to a handful of familiar organizations rather than distributing many small one-off grants.
The Ruth Rosenbloom Silverman & Victor Rosenbloom Charitable Foundation’s recent giving is marked by repeated support for performing arts and music training, paired with selective help for children’s health and community wellness. Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn received $15,000 in both 2023 and 2025 for general and children’s educational programming, while Lynn University’s Conservatory of Music & Theatre Arts Program also received $15,000 in each of those years and again in 2024. That pattern points to a funder that returns to the same institutions rather than making many isolated awards. The foundation’s grants also show a strong New Jersey-centered portfolio that includes university music departments, regional theatre, and medical-related community programs. William Paterson Univeristy Foundation Inc. in Wayne received awards for both general support and its Department of Music; Foundation for Morristown Medical Center received grants tied to the Goryeb Children’s Hospital 5K, women’s health, and the Soothing Paws pet therapy program. Across the recent list, the foundation uses mid-sized awards, often at the $7,500 to $15,000 level, to support program-specific work and general operations.
A clear arts-and-education theme runs through the foundation’s giving. Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn received $15,000 for children’s educational programs in 2024 and 2025, showing direct support for arts learning rather than only venue operations. Lynn University in Boca Raton received $15,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for its Conservatory of Music & Theatre Arts Program, linking the foundation to college-level performance training. Higher education music support also appears in New Jersey. William Paterson Univeristy Foundation Inc. in Wayne received $12,500 in 2024 for the Department of Music and $10,000 in 2025 for general fund support. On the health side, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York received $10,000 for the Children’s Joy Fund in 2024 and 2025, while Chilton Medical Center Foundation in Pompton Plains received $7,500 in 2024 and 2025 for the Children’s Center.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-range: the 25th percentile is $2,288, the median is $5,500, and the 75th percentile is $10,000. The recent list also shows repeated awards to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which suggests a recurring relationship model rather than one-off gifts. Several grantees appear multiple times with different purposes, including general support and program-specific support. The foundation is not an individual-grantmaking vehicle and does not make program-related investments.
